What are NGINX Extras?

NGINX Extras is the largest collection of dynamic NGINX module RPM packages available in a single repository. Unlike bloatware NGINX builds that bundle everything, our approach lets you install only the modules you need - keeping your server lean and secure.

Transform your base NGINX installation into a powerful application platform with support for:

HTTP/3 (QUIC) - The latest protocol for faster page loads
Brotli compression - 15-25% better compression than GZIP
ModSecurity WAF - Enterprise-grade web application firewall
Google PageSpeed - Automatic frontend optimization
Lua scripting - Embed custom logic in NGINX
GeoIP2 - Location-based access control and targeting

Quick Install Example

# Install repository
sudo yum -y install \
  https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm

# Install NGINX with PageSpeed and Brotli
sudo yum -y install nginx \
  nginx-module-pagespeed \
  nginx-module-brotli

# Enable in nginx.conf
load_module modules/ngx_pagespeed.so;
load_module modules/ngx_http_brotli_filter_module.so;

# Start NGINX
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx

No compilation required | SELinux compatible | CDN-powered

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about NGINX Extras

What are NGINX dynamic modules and why do I need them?

NGINX dynamic modules are loadable extensions that add functionality to NGINX without recompiling the core server. Unlike static modules that require rebuilding NGINX from source, dynamic modules can be loaded/unloaded at runtime using the load_module directive. This means you can add features like ModSecurity WAF, Brotli compression, or Lua scripting with a simple yum install command. Dynamic modules reduce maintenance overhead, allow selective feature enablement, and make upgrades simpler since you don't need to recompile after each NGINX update.

How do I install NGINX modules from GetPageSpeed repository?

Installing NGINX modules is a three-step process: First, install the repository configuration with "sudo yum install https://extras.getpagespeed.com/release-latest.rpm". Second, activate your subscription. Third, install modules with "sudo yum install nginx nginx-module-pagespeed nginx-module-brotli" (or any modules you need). After installation, add the load_module directive to your nginx.conf and reload NGINX. The installer will show you the exact directive needed.

Is NGINX Extras a replacement for NGINX Plus?

NGINX Extras provides many features comparable to NGINX Plus at a fraction of the cost. While NGINX Plus offers commercial support and some proprietary features, NGINX Extras includes over 50 dynamic modules (vs 32 in Plus), ModSecurity WAF at no extra charge (Plus charges $2,000+), full HTTP/2 HPACK support via NGINX-MOD, and JWT authentication. For most use cases, NGINX Extras provides equal or better functionality. See our detailed comparison table for specifics.

Which Linux distributions are supported?

We support all maintained RHEL-based distributions: RHEL 7/8/9, CentOS 7 (with extended support), AlmaLinux 8/9, Rocky Linux 8/9, Oracle Linux 8/9, Amazon Linux 2 and 2023, and Fedora (latest releases). All packages are built natively for each distribution and architecture (x86_64 and aarch64), ensuring optimal compatibility and performance.

How do I upgrade NGINX modules when a new version is released?

Upgrading is simple: run "sudo yum upgrade nginx nginx-module-*" to get the latest versions. After upgrading, apply the changes at runtime without downtime using "service nginx upgrade". This performs a binary upgrade that seamlessly transitions to the new version while keeping existing connections alive. No recompilation or manual intervention required.

Can I use NGINX Extras modules with my existing NGINX installation?

Yes, our modules are compatible with the standard NGINX package from our repository. However, if you're using NGINX from EPEL, the CentOS base repo, or compiled from source, you'll need to switch to our NGINX package first. The modules are built against specific NGINX versions and ABI compatibility is required. Our base NGINX package is a drop-in replacement with the same configuration format.

What is the difference between NGINX-MOD and regular NGINX?

NGINX-MOD is our enhanced NGINX build that includes performance patches not in mainline NGINX: full HTTP/2 HPACK encoding (better compression), dynamic TLS record sizing (faster HTTPS), and the latest OpenSSL. It's a drop-in replacement for the standard nginx package. Additionally, we offer NGINX QUIC packages for HTTP/3 support. All our dynamic modules are compatible with both standard NGINX and NGINX-MOD.

What are the pricing options for NGINX Extras?

We offer flexible subscription plans starting from $10/month. Monthly and annual subscription options are available, with significant savings on annual plans. Enterprise and unlimited server licenses are available for larger deployments. All plans include access to 50+ dynamic modules, our full RPM repository, and CDN-powered package delivery.
